Reducing Access To Voting Is Not The Way To Deal With Ballot Problems
We need more polling places and drop boxes, not fewer.
Vote-By-Mail, Early Voting, & Expanding Voting Options
Our democracy works best when every voter can cast their ballot and be heard. Common Cause is making sure voters have options on how to cast a ballot.
In our democracy, our vote is our voice and every voter across the country deserves a say in the people and policies that impact their lives. That is why we are advocating for proven and secure ways to make voting more convenient for eligible Americans, including:
- Vote-by-Mail: Letting eligible voters send in their ballots via the USPS,
- Early Voting: Giving voters extra days before Election Day to cast their ballot,
- Voting Dropboxes: Allowing voters to place their ballots in secure local receptacles ahead of Election Day.
Reforms like these make elections more accessible while keeping them fair and safe.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
